I’m Alec Borlin — executive recruiter, CPA, and career strategist.
I’ve placed hundreds of accounting and finance professionals in top roles across Fortune 500s and growth companies. I’ve interviewed thousands more.
The difference between “good candidate” and “must-hire”?
It’s never just the resume.
It’s how well you can articulate the value you’ve actually created — and how clearly others can see that value.
That’s what this course and worksheet will show you how to do.
